The WRESTLING Coaches I've talked to are for the most part in favor of some change that rebalances the classifications. The biggest resistance will most likely come from outside of the wrestling world, those 2 sports that are played with balls. I would be very surprised if KSHSAA does anything that would change the #'s in the classes that would impact their playoff systems for FB and Basketball. I've heard that any proposal that changes the #'s of 5A and 6A teams is DOA. Not sure why 5A and 6A are special in this regard, having been in those 2 classes for the past decade we have kids just like everyone else.
My AD has an idea that would really shake things up, I don't know if he is actually proposing it or working on it, but might make Kit's idea a possibility. His thought is that the idea for a set # of teams per class for all sports doesn't make sense. If you look in 5A and 6A, the number and quality of teams in most sports (baseball, swimming, golf, tennis, soccer, wrestling to a lesser extent) varies widely. Some of the larger schools don't even field teams in those sports, but yet they still take up one of the 32 spots. This could be something that if included could help this proposal.
It does have its problems as well. The logistics of who decides the # of schools per sport, a school being in multiple classification in different sports, etc but something that could probably be addressed.
